Who says size doesn't matter... When it comes to throw pillows that is!

The benefits of being American, made-to-order decorative throw pillows is that we can cut and stitch just to your liking. Of course, there are some limitations but we think we have the majortiy of the throw pillow sizes you might be looking for well covered (no pun intended... OK, maybe a little.)

We now offer all of our designer throw pillows in the following sizes:

18" x 18" square throw pillow

This is by far our most popular size and the most common size used on sofas and home furnishings in the home. We always recommend, if you go with an 18" x 18" throw pillow, to really layer up your space and mix and match your colors, texures, patterns and prints. We always say there is no such thing as having too many throw pillows... This pillow size will come standard with a poly pillow insert (upgrade to down if you like,) a hidden zipper closure and a clean knife edge. Please note, as we hand cut all of our pillows just for you, there can always be a 1/2" variation in the exact dimensions of the pillow cover.

12" x 18" lumbar throw pillow

This is a great size for a chair, top of a bed or often seen in the middle of a sofa. The lumbar pillow is our only rectanglular pillow. It comes standard with a poly pillow insert (upgrade to down if you like,) hidden zipper closure and clean knife edge.

20" x 20" Square Throw Pillow

Another popular decorative throw pillow size and slightly more generous in size than our standard 18" x 18" square throw pillow, the 20" x 20" throw pillow is usually just perfect for any scale sofa, chair or space. We will often see this pillow size matched-up with 18" x 18" throw pillows to create a smart and sophisticated layered look (the bigger size throw pillow usually in front of the smaller size throw pillow.) This size designer throw pillow comes standard with a hidden zipper closure, a poly pillow insert and a clean knife edge. As noted with almost all of our throw pillows, due to hand cutting there can always be a 1/2" size variation in either direction.

22" x 22" Square Throw Pillow

This pillow size is commonly referred to as the "interior designer" size as it really creates presence and scale in any room. A 22" x 22" throw pillow will really stand out on any furnishing; loveseats, sofas, benches and beds. This pillow size can nicely be mixed and matched with smaller sizes to further project the prominence of a particular color story or pattern. It comes standard with a high-fiber poly pillow insert or you can eaisly upgrade to our plush down blended inserts. it has a hidden zipper closure, as do all of our throw pillows, and a clean knife edge. And, as is the case with all of our throw pillows, regardless of the size, you can nicely add self-piping for an even finer finish detail.

24" x 24" Square Throw Pillow

This is a very generous size pillow and is sure to not disappoint. Commonly used on larger scale furnishings and rooms, the 24" x 24" throw pillow is our largest of our square throw pillows. It comes standard with a high-fiber poly pillow insert (or you can upgrade to down,) a hidden zipper closure and clean knife edge. Again, all of our upgrades (down and self-piping) are available on this throw pillow as they are on all of our throw pillows.. Due to the large surface size of the 24" x 24" throw pillow, we always recommend this size for patterns that have large repeats or very intricate patterns such as toile scenes and floral repeats.

26" x 26" European sham

The Euro sham, as we more simply refer to it, is commonly used as an important part to any complete bedding ensemble. Measuring 26" x 26", the Euro sham will look great as a backdrop to your bed. Whether it be wedged between a headboard or a blank wall, the Euro sham is a great way to add scale and fullness to any bedroom. For queen size beds we recommend 2-3 Euro shams and king size beds 3-4 Euro shams (twin and full beds usually have 1 and 2 Euro shams respectively.) Don't be shy with color or pattern, designing the perfect bedroom can often include 1-2 different Euro sham styles to really create a rich look (for example, 2 shams on either side of a contrasting sham in the middle.) As with all of our throw pillows, the Euro sham will include a hidden zipper closure and a clean knife edge. Upgrading to self-piping is an option too. This size ships flat without any pillow insert.

20" x 26" standard sham

The Standard Sham is commonly used on top of the bed and as an accessory to a twin, full or sometimes queen size bed. It ships flat with an insert and includes a hidden zipper and clean knife edge construction. It measures at 20" x 26" just like that of a standard size pillow. We are pleased to offer all of our designer fabrics as a standard sham (as well as all the other sizes, Euro, queen and king.) This item can also include a self-piping add-on. There is no down insert upgrade for this item.

20" x 30" queen sham

The Queen Sham, like the Standard Sham, is commonly used as an accessory to sophisticated bedding. It's size of 20" x 30" is perfect for a queen size bed which generally measures 60" x 80" (you see how perfectly two queen shams can stretch across the width of the bed...) This item ships unfilled (flat) and accepts a commonly found queen size pillow insert. It too has a hidden zipper closure and comes standard wtih a clean-knife edge finish on all four sides. This item can also include a self-piping add-on. There is no down insert upgrade for this item.

20" x 36" king sham

The King Sham, like the Standard and Queen Shams, is commonly used as an accessory to any finely manicured bed. It measures at 20" x 36" and is designed to fully stretch the entire width of an Eastern king size bed measuring 72" across when two pillows are used. (Don't worry you Californians... these king shams are perfectly acceptable for California king bed sizes too.) This item ships unfilled (flat) and accepts a commonly found queen size pillow insert. It too has a hidden zipper closure and comes standard wtih a clean-knife edge finish on all four sides. This item can also include a self-piping add-on. There is no down insert upgrade for this item.

Optional Upgrades

Our typical throw pillow comes at 18" x 18" square, with a clean knife-edge, a hidden zipper and a high-fiber polyester pillow insert. While in most cases this makes a great looking and full-bodied throw pillow, we do offer several other options:

Upgrade to Down

Poly Pillow Insert

Down Pillow Insert

All of our pillows already come stuffed with a generous high-fiber polyester pillow filler but if you are looking for a more natural and luxurious look then you can upgrade for $5 per pillow to down. Our down pillow inserts are American made with 95% small goose down feather and 5% goose down feather. They are covered with a ticking-proof, double-stitched cotton lining. We make all our inserts 19" x 19" so they are very generous in size and fill the pillow perfectly so it sits plump and full. it is easy to upgrade to down; simply check the "Upgrade to Down" checkbox when adding your pillow to your shopping cart. It can be found underneath the pillow price on the throw pillow product page where it says "Options". It will automatically increase the price per throw pillow by $5.

Add Self-Piping

Pillow without piping

Pillow with piping

Piping Close-up

Also referred to as a 1/4" welt or trim, our piping will be made from the same fabric as the pillow and cut on the bias (or at an angle) so it blends in perfectly with the pillow pattern. For some this is a really nice way to finish off the pillow edges with more detail than the simplicity of a clean-knife edge. Lucky for you, at thepillowcollection.com you have the preference of either one. The pillow comes standard with a clean knife-edge finish or for $5 per pillow we will adorn all four sides with 1/4" self-piping.

Pillow Cover Only

All of our designer throw pillows are produced with a hidden zipper closure for easy cover removal. This is not only convenient for cleaning but our pillows can also be used as replacement covers to your existing pillows. As an option, and as a cost savings, select this option if you only want the pillow cover and neither our high-fiber poly nor plush down pillow inserts. This option is available on all sizes. Please note, all of our pillow sham sizes already come flat and this option will not apply.

Delivery Times

Most pillow orders will ship within 3-5 business days upon your placing the order. As all items are made to order and dependent upon our designer fabrics being in stock it is common for a pillow order that includes custom add-ons such as piping to take slightly longer.
